That’s pretty disappointing then…….after our efforts with Reece I thought his move was more or less nailed on!
We're being linked with Jordan Jones a winger from Rangers. On loan at Sunderland last season who we apparently watched.
I can't get any links to work .
Chelsea youngster Henry Lawrence is set to complete a loan move to AFC Wimbledon tomorrow.
It will initially be a six month loan but likely be extended in January.
He had offers from Wigan and other teams in the Championship but he will get good playing time at the Dons. #CFC⁹
I'm kinda foreign (lol) to this sort of deals but could it be a positional thing? Like, that he'd be more of a protagonist going forward playing as a winger in Wimbledon whereas here he'd be a RB?That's really disappointing, I knew Wimbledon were chasing him before we were linked but it seemed like we pinched him. The lad looks a real prospect.
I wonder if the location played a big part, he'd not have to leave home to go to Wimbledon and it would be easier for Chelsea to keep tabs on him if he's in staying in the London area.
Also wonder if Wimbledon guarentee him a starting place while we said he'll be competing with an established pro in Darikwa.

Big blow that. To be honest, it's been a disappointing last couple of weeks in terms of missing out on players. Season starts in less than two weeks, tick tock...
Maybe. The only indication of why Wimbledon over us I saw was 'he will get good playing time there' so sounds most likely Chelsea have got more assurances from the Wimbledon manager over a starting place for him. Maybe they even agreed to a clause like Liverpool often put in that their young players have to play a certain percentage of games..
I think that may have played a large part in it - Lets not forget that whilst Latics were great for Chelsea & Reece James, 12 months later Dijon Sterling barely got a sniff (& rightly so if stories about his attitude are anything to go by) so it's clear that Latics will only play them if the managers thinks they're good enough so if the Dons have agreed to an appearance related loan deal or pretty much guaranteed he'll start every week then I get him going there
After some of the times Latics have had their fingers burnt by these guaranteed to start if fit deals, I'm glad if we no longer agree to them
WImbledon having a relationship with Chelsea (they sold their old ground to them) & being in the same/ish area may have played a part too meaning if injured he can easily get treatment from Chelsea's team & it's easier for him to train with Chelsea too if they wanna see how or if he's improving
Wigan Athletic are reportedly eyeing up a move for Rangers winger Jordan Jones. Here, we take a closer look at what a deal could involve.
What is Jordan Jones’ price tag?
As per Transfermarkt, the Redcar-born winger is valued at £540,000.
His highest previous valuation on the site was £675,000 but as Rangers signed him on a free transfer in 2019, they will be making a profit as long as he leaves for some sort of fee.
What is his reported salary?
As of 2020, Jones is on a wage of £9,100-a-week at Ibrox, netting him £473,200-a-year (SalarySport).
What would he bring to Wigan Athletic?
As a right-footed player often operating on the left-wing, Jones is a threat when cutting in, be it to shoot or pick out an opponent.
The Northern Irish winger can operate on the opposite side and has featured in attacking midfield, too.
His dribbling and ability on the ball can make him a difficult task for defenders to deal with, while his eye for a cross can cause problems for central defenders.
He wouldn’t have been one of their best youngsters if Chelsea were prepared to sell him. He was on loan at Bristol Rovers last season and I don’t remember him pulling up tress like Connor Gallagher did so likely he is one of their youth products who they felt wouldn’t make the step up like Reece and Mason Mount.Another aspect of that is Wimbledon just signed one of Chelsea's best youngsters Luke McCormick, that deal seemed like it took a long time to do and involved some concessions over large sell on fees to secure him so they have just established a working relationship. So Chelsea probably are on good terms with them.
Why is it a big blow? None of us know if he’s any good. Let’s see how he does for Wimbledon and then we’ll know if it’s a big blow or not. He won’t be anywhere near the level Reece wasBig blow that. To be honest, it's been a disappointing last couple of weeks in terms of missing out on players. Season starts in less than two weeks, tick tock...
Apparently Sunderland were told he is 250k to buy when he went on loan last season.
I can't see him being on 9k a week, as he came from Kilmarnock where he wouldn't have been on much, so i can't see Rangers needing to offer such a large pay rise to get him in the door when probably half of that would've been a huge increase. That site that claims to know wages seems to make it up as it goes half the time.
It's being reported he is free to leave Rangers for a fee short of 1 million, which is proving a problem for Sunderland
